Zach Edey is going to be a guy that NBA teams can trust to contribute in a big way on offense, it'll just be extremely matchup dependent whether he can stay on the floor on defense.

I'm a Trae fan, I think he's the most underrated player in the league. But isn't Hawks record better with only Murray than with him and Trae?

Up-And-Coming wrote:Hawks are 12-10 without Trae Young this season. Not that small a sample size. Trae is a great offensive player but they're not a great fit together. One would think they should make a decision on keeping either Trae or Dejounte although there may not be that much pressure until the 2025/26 season when Trae can threaten to not pick-up his player option the following season.

Hawks are 24-29 all time in the regular season with Young out (not to mention a playoff win). Exact same winning percentage as when he starts of .452 (183-221).

His impact has always been negligible to slightly negative save for about a seasons worth of his career when he actually rebounded the ball and forced isolations against slow footed Bigs (which are becoming extinct nowadays). If it isn’t glaring on the floor the metrics will tell you as well.
